"I can't get that
song out of my head... got it playing continually right now...
I woke up with it on my mind.
I would like to show it to the song leader at
church to see if we could sing it..." (email from Patti)

"We know and use some of your
songs in our church, like...
'This Day Is Holy' and 'Search Me, O God'. We have some
brothers in our church who can translate these songs
into our local language" (Paul,
from Kenya)

This
song is being sung by a children's choir in South Africa !! Two
have translated into Afrikaans:
Liz Van Heerden (from Cape Town, South Africa) &
Philip Nagel (from Pretoria, South
Africa)Afrikaans translation

Praise God for your ministry in New Hope
Music. When I first listened your song
"Search
Me, O God", I loved it so much that I
couldn't wait to translate it into Chinese.
May God bless and transform
the lives of all Chinese congregation as they
worship God through this wonderful
song. (Amos Chan, from Taiwan)

I
was just browsing the net on some meditation for Lent
and happened to visit your site.

I am overwhelmed by your music and would like
to share them with my family and choir.
The Hymn "Search Me,
O God" has really touched my heart...

I am planning to have a Lental retreat... and intend to sing the hymn
"Search Me, O God"
over and over again until everyone is moved by it.
It would be wonderful if all are touched and healed...

Your music is
awesome. My name is Jane Chevalier. I play and perform on
hammer dulcimer,
mountain dulcimer, autoharp and folk harp. I also
teach all but the folk harp.

I donate my time teaching workshops at several music festivals around the
Midwest. This July I will be teaching
at the largest hammer dulcimer
festival in the world held in Evart, Michigan. This will be the fourth
consecutive year
I'll be teaching a Hymn Duet Workshop along with two of my
musical friends.

I have fallen in love
with "Search Me O, God" and would like your written permission to
teach, perform and pass this
wonderful hymn of praise along to others...
The workshop handout will give credit to you as the composer but the
arrangement will be my own. Without your permission I will not, as a
courtesy, teach your compositions. (Jane,
from Michigan)

You have our encouragement and permission
to duplicate and share this song for all "not-for-profit" purposes
(ie. corporate worship, overheads, songbooks, web sites, give-away copies).
Please contact New Hope for other uses. Thanks !!!

My name is Peter Day and
I am the director of my own
creative arts ministry here in New Zealand. See
our web site

We write and produce Biblical musicals and are in the process
of writing a new musical called 'In the Shadow of Messiah', (based)
on the life of David. Most of the songs and script has been written,
except for a few gaps which we are believing the Lord to fill.

... I am writing to ask if we could us these songs in our new musical.

Zealand)

"The
Lord directed me to this page today and what a blessing I've received.
I'm a pastor's wife and have many trials at present. My sister is seriously ill
and doctors offer little hope, my dad is unsaved and has cancer, and my
unsaved mother has been ill with pneumonia/congestive heart failure.
I have lupus so the needs are great and the stresses are high!

But,
when I listened to "Center Of My
Soul" and 'Search Me, O God',it was as if God wrapped me up in a big blanket and
sat me on his lap.
I've already phoned my husband who will be sharing this website with
our worship leader tonight! I bless each of you for your
faithfulness to
God's Word and sharing these songs with the body of Christ.
One day we can all sing them around the throne."
(Mary Ann, from Oklahoma)
